If you don&#8217;t feel your Twitter username (or handle) suits you anymore, don&#8217;t rush into deleting your Twitter account and creating a new one. You can just change your Twitter handle, as well as your Twitter display name at any point.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re thinking of getting rid of your Twitter account, it still might be a good idea to change your username before you do it. Changing your Twitter user information is possible through your account settings. Here&#8217;s how to do it on both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/7-Best-Twitter-Apps-for-Windows-10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">desktop and mobile Twitter apps<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Featured-Image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Featured-Image-1.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Featured-Image-1-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Featured-Image-1-610x359.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Featured-Image-1-80x47.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Find Your Twitter Display Name and Handle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Twitter handle (also known as your username) is the name associated with your Twitter account. It&#8217;s the name that other people use to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/6-easy-ways-to-find-out-whos-looking-for-you-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">find your account<\/a>, tag you in posts, and direct messages to you on Twitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find your Twitter handle, log in to your Twitter account and open your profile page. Your handle is the name that begins with the @ symbol, right under your profile picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_username_location.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_username_location.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_username_location-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_username_location-610x331.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_username_location-80x43.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another piece of your account information that you might want to change is your display name. That&#8217;s the name displayed right over your Twitter handle. The difference between your Twitter handle and your display name is that while your display name can be the same as other Twitter users, your handle is unique to your Twitter account. Unlike your handle, your display name on Twitter can be up to 50 characters long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Change Your Twitter Display Name or Handle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change both your Twitter handle and display name as many times as you want, but why do it in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and most obvious reason is that you might not feel like your username suits you anymore. If you owned the same Twitter account for years, you might want to change your username to something more relevant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also recommended to change your Twitter handle before deleting your Twitter account. Especially if you believe there&#8217;s a chance that you&#8217;ll change your mind about leaving the platform. When you create a new account on Twitter, you might want to use the same email and the same Twitter handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you delete your account, Twitter voids your username and email, so you won&#8217;t be able to reuse it later. By changing your current username on Twitter before deleting your account, you&#8217;ll make that original username available for future reuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your display name or your handle won&#8217;t affect your Twitter account, including your followers, your messages, or replies. After you update your display name and your username, the new user information will appear on your profile page under your profile picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Change Your Display Name on Twitter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change your display name at any time in your account settings. The instructions differ a little, depending on whether you&#8217;re using your web browser or mobile app to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change Your Twitter Display Name in Your Web Browser<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To change your display name on Twitter using your web browser, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and log into your account.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_open_profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_open_profile.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_open_profile-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_open_profile-610x450.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_open_profile-68x50.png 68w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>In the upper-left corner of the screen, select your profile picture to open your profile page.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit_profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit_profile.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit_profile-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit_profile-610x272.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit_profile-80x36.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li>On your profile page, select the blue <strong>Edit profile<\/strong> button. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit-name_save.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit-name_save.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit-name_save-300x265.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit-name_save-610x539.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/twitter_edit-name_save-57x50.png 57w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li>Type your new display name under <strong>Name<\/strong>.
